Picketpost Mountain Trail

From the parking lot you will start out on the Arizona Trail until you reach the turn off to begin your accent up the mountain.  This part of the trail isn't well maintained, and is a scramble, so be ready to use those hands.  The trail is marked with cairns though and there is enough traffic that a pretty clearly defined trail can be seen over the boulders.

Once you have finished the 2,200ft climb you'll be greeted my a mailbox and bench on the summit.  Make sure to write in the summit registry before you take a seat to enjoy the views.  Walk around on a summit a bit, and you'll be rewarded by 360 degree views of the beautiful, expansive desert.

Head down the way you came up, and after some down climbing, you'll be back to your car.
